As to Donkey Parties:

Donkey parties are the latest thing
III the way of social gathering in
Milwaukee. A large silhoutte, repre-
senting a tailless donkey is cut
out of paper or cloth, and
fastened upon the wall. To each
of the guests are given a cam
brio tail and a pin. Then they are
blindfolded, one by one, placed in a
corner opposite the donkey, are
whirled three times around, and then
started on a blind search for the
donkey, upon which, if they reach it,
the tail is to be pinned. If the guest
goes in another direction and stumbles
against a wall, door, chair, or any
hing else, there he must leave the
all. The movements of the blind
olded are apt to be ludicrous. The
oersbn who makes the best effort to
place the tail upon the donkey, where
it belongs, receives a present of some
kind, while the guest who makes the
most unsuccessful effort gets the
